Elon Musk Reacts to SNL Skit by Mike Myers Targeting Trump Tariffs and Tesla Vandalism
Elon Musk responds to Mike Myers’ brutal SNL skit roasting Trump tariffs and Tesla vandalism
When it came to the most recent impersonation, the millionaire was not really pleased.
Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, has launched a rebuttal to Mike Myers’ ‘brutal’ imitation of him this week. Since another weekend has passed, there has been yet another comedy on Saturday Night Live that is related to Donald Trump.
Elon Musk has had a fairly convoluted history with Saturday Night Live (SNL), as he went from happily hosting the show in May 2021 to criticizing it less than a year later, claiming that it is “so rarely funny these days” in a post on X the following April. This is a really unique and interesting turn of events.
Musk, on the other hand, has become a frequent “target” of the show’s skits ever since he became a significant member of the Trump administration as head of the Department of Government Efficiency.
Mike Myers, a classic of Saturday Night Live, has taken up the task of mimicking the billionaire.
Through a series of brief answers that he has sent out to his millions of followers, he has made it abundantly clear that he is dissatisfied with this new imitation.
The most recent sketch that involves Myers appears to have gotten him all worked up once more.
During the comedy in question, Myers played the role of Musk, and he discussed a new Tesla vehicle that was given the designation “Model V.”
It is a play on the recent widespread vandalism that has been directed towards the electric car company’s vehicles, and this new model contains a self-vandalizing mechanism that is the first of its kind in the world.
This mechanism enables the vehicle to destroy its own headlights, slash its own tyres, and utilize artificial intelligence to spray graffiti on its sides.
Myers also claims that although he is “really smart,” the new mass tariffs that President Trump has implemented “sound really dumb.” That is before Trump interrupts him and says that he is “really smart.”
A footage of the sketch that was broadcast on X prompted Musk to comment as follows:
Since a very long time ago, Saturday Night Live has not been hilarious. In their own right, they are a parody.
This is an attitude that is comparable to what Musk has expressed in the past; yet, it is also coming from the individual who was upset that his sketch of a “woke James Bond” was rejected since it has now “become reality.”
The approach that Musk took was supported by one of the responses to his article. The individual argued that the skit was “not funny by any stretch of the imagination,” and they went on to say that it was “just plain mean and fueled by hatred.”
On the other hand, there are many who are not entirely on the same page, pointing out that Musk appears to be incapable of taking a joke.
“Boo hoo crybaby,” said one user, adding “did Mike Myers hurt your feelings” with a lot of laughing emojis. “I’m sorry! I’m sorry.”
An additional user uploaded a picture of a cat with teary eyes and captioned it with the phrase, “Stop laughing guys, it’s not funny.”
One of the users made the observation in a post that was quoted, “Didn’t you host a few years ago?” “You just don’t like that they made fun of you.”
Despite the fact that Elon Musk’s tenure in government may be coming to an abrupt end as a result of the news that he is resigning from his position as head of DOGE, it is quite probable that this will not be the last time that Myers makes fun of him on Saturday Night Live.
However, it is nearly certain that this will not be the final time that Musk is unable to refrain from responding online.
